We’re dreaming of a White Christmas
Just like the ones we know back home
Where the treetops glisten,
And children listen,
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
Allies loving all the little children
She gives them hugs and kisses galore
She leads worship often,
And her voice… it softens,
The hearts of those we get to know
Emma’s dancing throughout every service
She finds the joy in all the songs
Sometimes she rests her head,
And finds chickens under her bed,
Yet she still loves them as they grow
Megan’s laughing as she watches old videos
Of our team and past host families
Although she sees no point to
People screaming “MZUNGU!”
She waves and smiles anyways
Mia’s humming all the tunes of Christmas
She just can’t wait to celebrate
Sickness attacked her agenda,
She’s already had malaria,
Yet she’s strong each and every day
Molly’s smirking as she wins all the card games
We are no match compared to her
She loves collecting boulders,
With no concern for her shoulders,
As she has to carry them in her pack
I’m cherishing each and every moment
That I get to spend with my sweet fam
Though it’s not what was expected, Christmas away from home will be perfected,
By those I love and cherish most
Team ABS is having the journey of a lifetime
But sadly it’s coming to an end
With team changes around the corner,
We’ll be split into teams with others,
But we’re excited to extend our family
We will always be abounding roots
We’ve created and inseparable bond
We are sisters forever,
and we will never,
Forget all the Lord has done
We’re excited for a Zomba Christmas
Where it’s hot and no snow around
Where the tin roofs glisten,
And children listen,
To stories told on the patio
Merry Christmas from Abounding Roots! We love you all very much!
